Creating a Local Business Scenario
A local business scenario consists of multiple service definitions. A configuration profile can be assigned to one or more service definitions in a business scenario.
You can create multiple business scenarios.
The same service definition can be active within multiple business scenarios. If a service definition is not active in any business scenario, the corresponding binding is deleted.
When to use a Business Scenario
You should use a business scenario in the following situations:
-
At least one system is connected to more than one system, and service groups are used for receiver determination in the system's outbound interfaces
-
Many interfaces need to be configured in each system
-
At least one system configuration needs to be transferred from a development or test system to a production landscape
If you use SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EHP2, SP08 or higher and you use service groups, you can use central business scenario configuration. For more information, see Configuring a Central Business Scenario.
These steps are for SOA Manager running in a non-central system.
